Hey Guys-
Another couple random questions... I did not foresee myself needing a torque wrench so early in my build (my second assembly the HS). I thought I could hold off till my wing kit arrives. I techically could hold off longer but I want to 100% complete an assembly and move on.. When I get down to the end of my build, I can simply put the sub assembies together & call it done. This is simply my philosophy, I dont like little tasks haning over my head, That just me...
Here are my two questions of the day...
1) What is the best "reasonbly priced" torque wrench calebrated in inch lbs for all of the AN bolts on the RV? I would like something low maintenance. i.e not haveing to get it recalibrated every 6 months etc.
2) Has anyone considered locktiting all of the air frame AN bolts with green locktite? I know it's not required, but I love myself some locktight... I prettymuch use it on everything from the car to my RC helicopers. It keeps everything set in place until heated up for removal. Of course I'm going to use torque seal markings and all. I don't recall any such thing being mentioned during my A&P apprenticeship like 15 years ago. Just note that I, not thinking about this for any nutplate screws or anything, just the internal AN nuts & bolts that are torqued.
Thanks
